What one-click unsubscribe needs

From RFC 8058, Signaling One-Click Functionality for List Email Headers (checked 5 Nov 2026): a List-Unsubscribe header with an HTTPS URL, a List-Unsubscribe-Post header whose value is exactly List-Unsubscribe=One-Click, and a valid DKIM signature that covers both. The mail client then sends a POST to the URL when the recipient clicks Unsubscribe; the server must act on it without a redirect and without cookies or a login. A mailto: address can sit next to the URL for older clients.

Google's guidelines for senders of more than 5,000 messages a day to Gmail require one-click unsubscribe for marketing mail: Google, Email sender guidelines (checked 4 Nov 2026).

Questions

What is the List-Unsubscribe-Post header?

The header that marks a List-Unsubscribe URL as one-click. Its value must be exactly List-Unsubscribe=One-Click; the mail client then unsubscribes the recipient with a single POST.

Is a mailto: unsubscribe enough for Gmail?

Not for one-click. RFC 8058 one-click needs an HTTPS URL in List-Unsubscribe; a mailto: address can be added next to it.

Do the unsubscribe headers have to be DKIM-signed?

Yes. RFC 8058 requires a valid DKIM signature that covers List-Unsubscribe and List-Unsubscribe-Post, so a forwarder cannot change them.

Is my pasted email stored?

No. The headers are checked in memory for that one request and the page is not cached.
